Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth.  In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps.

Hi My Loves! I've declared the end of December to the end of January a month to focus on refocusing and to prepare for the rest of the year. That's exactly what I was up to and as such I took a short hiatus from Blogging and The CupcakeDelect Podcast! But I'm back!!! And, as usual, I have so much good content planned for you! Now it's just about execution. This year's word is "Consistency". For years I've been hesitant to put content out that I'm truly passionate about. I've managed to make excuses, convincing myself that I'm not good enough; that I don't have what it takes.
